CAPTURE, 2013
1m3 of earth dug up and moved into a Perspex cube.
Capture refers to these current environmental issues, irresponsible use of natural resources, mining and problematic mining legislation (especially in Finland.) Nowadays more and more natural resources are being used more rapidly because our present-day culture has an unfulfilled need to consume. The ideals of a consumption-based culture are also fed politically by aiming for ever greater economic growth without thought for ecological sustainability. Capture wants to point out that every act has a consequence; every encroachment on nature leaves a trace.
